Hamden police investigating 2 weekend shootings

A bullet was fired into a home at 201 London Drive at about 2:45 a.m. Saturday. The bullet penetrated through a bedroom ceiling wall, entered a second interior wall and then fell to the floor while the occupants were sleeping, Capt. Ronald Smith said.

Officers canvassed the area in an attempt to locate the shooter, but were unsuccessful.

On Friday about 11:15 p.m., police went to the area of Dixwell Avenue and Easton Street on the report of a shooting; police were told the victim was lying on the ground, Smith said.

Police couldn't find the victim, but later learned Jeffrey Crewe, 37, of West Haven, was driven to the Hospital of Saint Raphael by someone else. Crewe, who was shot in the back, suffered serious injuries, Smith said.

Officer Craig Appleby and his K-9 partner "Hunter" conducted a track, which led to the area of Goodrich Street, Smith said.
